There was nothing left to take home after the party!!! Thanks for the great recipe. Only thing I would change is to mix all the ingredients together before pouring instead of layering them. Otherwise, perfect.

I am a fan of quiche, and this goes to the top of my list. The mix of ingredients creates a great flavor combo. I used regular sausage and evaporated milk and 4 med eggs. That’s what I had on hand. It taste great and packed with protein.

I have made many quiches, and this was easily the best one ever! My guests agreed. I used mild breakfast sausage, and I didn't have 1/2 and 1/2, so I substituted heavy cream. Delish!

I used loose mild sausage, we don't like a lot of spice. Turned out great, even my picky children liked it.

Quite possibly the best quiche I ever have eaten. Certainly the best I ever have made. Delicious!
